Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crepe bandage used for?
A crepe bandage is made to give very light support and compression for minor sprains, strains, as well as soft tissue injuries. The elastic properties of the crepe bandage make it excellent for keeping dressings secure and reducing swelling.
Is this crepe bandage suitable for professional medical use in the UK?
This crepe bandage is compliant with UK medical standards and is therefore appropriate for use in professional healthcare settings, including hospitals and clinics.
Can this crepe bandage be reused after washing?
While the crepe bandage could technically be gently hand washed and air dried, it should only be reused if it is also removed from the limb with care. By gently unravelling the crepe bandage, rather than cutting it off with bandage scissors, it could then be washed and reused. However, in a professional setting, this isn't recommended.
What material is the bandage made from?
The crepe bandage is made from cotton, which gives both excellent comfort and outstanding elasticity. This cotton material also allows for adequate support while still allowing the skin to breathe.
Does the crepe bandage contain latex?
This crepe bandage is completely latex free, which makes it very safe and suitable for those with latex allergies or skin sensitivities.
How should I apply a crepe bandage?
To apply a crepe bandage, start by wrapping the bandage from the farthest point of the limb toward the heart. Overlap each layer by approximately half the width of the bandage. Make sure the crepe bandage feels snug but not too tight to avoid restricting the limb’s blood flow.
Is this crepe bandage appropriate for use in first aid kits?
The crepe bandage is highly versatile which makes it a staple in a variety of workplace, sports or personal first aid kits.
